> Your project is fundamentally about instantiating processes?

Yes, that and spawning other subprocesses depending on the outcome of the
previous one, sometimes concurrently per-host but mostly sequentially, and
clearly most of the time will be spent waiting for suprocesses because all
my commands.

Absolutely, and if I were to use this to orchestrate a bunch of subprocess
on thousands of servers, it'd probably happen on a blade with hundreds of
gigs of RAM anyway and many cores, so I don't think hardware is really
going to be a problem here.

That said, I'm also considering a rewrite of my asyncio code in gevent with
stdlib patching, I was already happy with eventlet back when doing
OpenStack code, and gevent seems even better, might be the opportunity to
get the best of both worlds.

Sorry I think this discussion got out of the scope of this list, I'll be
back with more thoughts on python-list in a few weeks after I gather() more
insight

Have a great weekend ;)
